Food – Cold Weather Comfort Food

February’s got folks freezing their tails off, but not me—I got a pot of stew on the

stove, full of maters, taters and chuck roast! I have a few cukes on the side for crunch.

Nothing warms you up like a bowl of something homemade, thick enough to stand a

spoon in. Granny always said, “Ain’t no cold a good meal can’t fix,” and she was

right. Outside the wind’s howling, but inside it smells like Sunday supper. Might even

fry up some cornbread if I’m feeling fancy. Ain’t much to do this time of year but eat

good, stay warm and wait for spring.

Whoops, you missed the do.
